Every Nearby Energetic Pulsar Is Surrounded by a Region of Inhibited Diffusion

Isabelle John, Tim Linden

The H.E.S.S. telescope has recently detected the total electron-plus-positron () flux up to 40 TeV, finding it to be a featureless and steeply-falling power-law above 1 TeV…

Looking for the γ-Ray Cascades of the KM3-230213A Neutrino Source

Milena Crnogorčević, Carlos Blanco, Tim Linden

The extreme energy of the KM3-230213A event could transform our understanding of the most energetic sources in the Universe. However, it also reveals an inconsistency between the K…

Heavy Axions Can Disrupt -ray Bursts

Oindrila Ghosh, Sunniva Jacobsen, Tim Linden

Axion-like particles (ALPs) can be produced in the hot dense plasma of fireballs that develop in the initial stage of -ray burst (GRB) outflows. They can transport an enormous a…

Gamma-Ray Observations of Galaxy Clusters Strongly Constrain Dark Matter Annihilation in Prompt Cusps

Milena Crnogorčević, M. Sten Delos, Nadia Kuritzén +1

Thermal dark matter models generically include the prompt creation of highly-concentrated dark matter cusps in the early Universe. Recent studies find that these cusps can survive…

Super-Kamiokande Strongly Constrains Leptophilic Dark Matter Capture in the Sun

Thong T. Q. Nguyen, Tim Linden, Pierluca Carenza +1

The Sun can efficiently capture leptophilic dark matter that scatters with free electrons. If this dark matter subsequently annihilates into leptonic states, it can produce a detec…

Millisecond Pulsars in Globular Clusters and Implications for the Galactic Center Gamma-Ray Excess

Aurelio Amerio, Dan Hooper, Tim Linden

We study the gamma-ray emission from millisecond pulsars within the Milky Way's globular cluster system in order to measure the luminosity function of this source population. We fi…

Dark Branches of Immortal Stars at the Galactic Center

Isabelle John, Rebecca K. Leane, Tim Linden

We show that stars in the inner parsec of the Milky Way can be significantly affected by dark matter annihilation, producing population-level effects that are visible in a Hertzspr…

Cosmic-Ray Propagation Models Elucidate the Prospects for Antinuclei Detection

Pedro De La Torre Luque, Martin Wolfgang Winkler, Tim Linden

Tentative observations of cosmic-ray antihelium by the AMS-02 collaboration have re-energized the quest to use antinuclei to search for physics beyond the standard model. However,…
